Automate Google Forms Submissions to Notion Databases

Quick summary

This demo shows how to build a Zapier automation that captures every new Google Forms submission and instantly creates a corresponding entry in a Notion database, eliminating manual data entry. By connecting these two tools through a Zap, teams can collect, organize, and track form responses in Notion in real time without any code.

Steps

1. Log in to Zapier, click "Create," and select "Zaps" to start building a new automation.
2. Click "Trigger" to begin setting up the trigger step of your Zap.
3. Search for and select Google Forms as the trigger app.
4. Choose a trigger event such as "New Response in Spreadsheet," then connect your Google account to Zapier.
5. Select the specific Google Form response sheet you want Zapier to monitor.
6. Run a test to ensure Zapier detects the form data correctly.
7. Choose Notion as the action app for the next step of your Zap.
8. Select "Create Database Item" as the action event.
9. Connect your Notion account and choose the target database where responses will be stored.
10. Map Google Forms fields — such as name, email, and response details — to the corresponding Notion database properties.
11. Run a test to confirm the Notion entry is created successfully.
12. Click "Publish" to activate the automation and start syncing form responses to Notion automatically.
